Hi I wonder if I could get some guidance please. I have 8 stone to lose to be within my healthy BMI. I realise this could take 8 months based on the recommended stone a month. I am only on day 3 and feeling very strong and positive but I have concerns about managing a whole 8 months and don't want to blow this. So rather than biting off more than I can chew (bad phrase for TFR I know!!) I have thought about breaking it into 3 phases aiming for some key targets as follows.
Phase 1 12 weeks
Started September 14th (18st6) to December 8th aim for 3 stone loss then start refeed 8th December for xmas.(15st6)
Start phase 2 for another 12 weeks Jan 4th aim for another 3 stone
Start refeed 30th March for Trip to Paris in April (12st6)
Phase 3 12 weeks start again May 3rd
Start refeed July 27th for my birthday
August 22nd be 10 stone something.
I have a colleague in work who has gone off and on the programme in a very planned way and she had less to lose and has acheived it all.
Have based the 12 week thing on NICE (National Institute for health and Clinical Effectiveness) who recommend a person should not follow a VLCD for longer than 12 weeks.
Please let me have your views on this, I really would appreciate it.
Thanks
